Stroke Misdiagnosis

Rely on Our Trial-Tested Maryland Medical Malpractice Attorneys

According to the American Heart Association, strokes are the fifth leading
cause of death in the United States. A stroke occurs when a blood vessel
ruptures or is blocked by a clot, effectively preventing oxygen from reaching
a patient’s brain cells. Early detection and aggressive treatment
options can protect a patient from experiencing the full impact of a stroke.
Tragically, it’s estimated that nearly 10% of stroke victims suffer
the deadly repercussions of medical misdiagnoses.

A patient can experience permanent physical and cognitive disabilities
when a medical professional fails to immediately diagnose and treat their
stroke systems. If you or a loved one has suffered the consequences of
a stroke misdiagnosis, contact the
Maryland medical malpractice lawyers at the Law Office of Robert Castro, P.A. Our legal team has over 50 years
of collective legal experience and can help you recover damages that safeguard
your quality of life. By taking legal action, you can hold the negligent
medical professional responsible for your current circumstances.

Pursing Damages in a Medical Malpractice Case

State and federal laws demand that medical professionals provide a reasonable
level of care to their patients. Even so, medical malpractice cases can
be challenging to litigate without effective legal representation supporting
your interests.

You may have grounds to file a claim if your doctor failed to provide you
with preventative treatments or didn’t treat your stroke once it
occurred. For example, many ischemic stroke medical malpractice claims
are filed because a doctor failed to utilize a tPA (tissue plasminogen
activator). At the Law Office of Robert Castro, P.A., our legal team can
investigate your case, analyze applicable evidence, and work with medical
experts to prove that the negligent party is responsible for your condition.

If your lawsuit is successful, you could recover the following damages:

Past and future medical expenses

Transportation costs

Pain and suffering

Loss of future earning capacity

Lost wages

Loss of enjoyment of life

Maryland’s statute of limitations states that a plaintiff has 5 years
to file a medical malpractice claim. While this seems like a long time,
it’s still important to contact an attorney as soon as possible,
especially if you have mounting medical debts. The Maryland Courts &
Judicial Proceedings Code section 3-2C-02 states that a plaintiff must
file a “certificate of qualified expert” within 90 days of
filing a medical malpractice claim. We can help you work with a qualified
medical professional to accurately complete this document within the mandatory
time period.
